XI. Jesus Is Nailed to the Cross
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world!
“Lay down moron...no, excuse me …..king”…Perhaps the speech that day was really less polite than we care to imagine. Jesus must listen to it all, keep with the program, until His sacrifice is accepted.
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world!
Nails will hold Him up...perhaps some rope...but not Angels….He is on his own. Blood is spattered all over the place as the
process begins...It soaks into the earth, mixes with it, beginning its new life.
We adore You, O Christ and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world!
After all this fresh pain Jesus is still alive. When prisoners threw themselves on the barbed wire of Aushwitz the pain was
probably great too. When victims were beaten by vigilantes for their ‘just punishments’ the pain was probably great too. The
animals with developed brains are the most dangerous…they are the best equipped to make others suffer.
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world!
All the nails are in. The guy on the ground looks like He’s ready to scream…..he will soon...Hoist ‘em up guys...The sooner
He’s up, the quicker we can move on. Jesus screams from the pain. Mary is about to pass out. The tree of life is about to be
planted. His blood and her tears nourish the roots now in the earth of the universe.

PASTORAL MESSAGE
Easter: Past, Present and Future
Someone had observed that “Easter
is behind us in one way, but around us
and before us as well.” (Larry Gillick, SJ,
Reflection for the 6th Sun of Easter [(B)] Another way of putting this is: There is a
past, present and future to Easter.
The mystery of Easter or the resurrection of Jesus is a past event in the sense
that it took place at a particular past historical time. Liturgically, at this time,
most of the Easter Season is already in the past. Both the historical
and the liturgical past event of the resurrection of Jesus the Christ
affects the present moment of the life of the world, the Church
and the individual. Liturgically, we are celebrating presently the
6th Sunday of Easter. The effects of the past event of the resurrection and the present living out of that event will effect not only
the immediate future but the final future, when all time will be
transformed into eternity and will be revealed in its full splendor.
On this 6th Sunday of Easter I believe the Church wishes its
members to focus on the importance of love regarding the resurrection of Jesus and our resurrection. Three important aspects of
love are brought out in today’s readings:
(1) God has loved us first. God IS love and is the uncaused
cause of all love This means that God did not and does not love us
because of anything we did or will do. Out of pure generosity of
willing to share his love with us God loved us first. He started,
gave initiative to, the process of loving. All of creation is an expression of God’s love. God did not love us because he needed us
or the rest of creation, as if there was something missing in His
being. God did NOT and does NOT love for any reason. Nothing
in creation prompts him to love. God’s very being , his nature,
urges God to share his love within the Trinitarian communion of
being and outside of it with us and all of creation. This means that
God’s love is NOT a reward for being or doing good. Since God’s
love is not merited and given to us as a reward for what we have
done or are doing, so, too, our love for one another ought not to be
a reward given to the other person but a response of gratefulness
for God’s love. The very love of God which is within us prompts
us to share that love with others. Perhaps this can be better understood when we recall that God loved us and continues to love
while we were and still are sinners. God sent the best he is, his very
own Son Jesus, to be an expiation for our sins. We, then, must love
sinners and enemy with that same salvific love of God and with
the expiatory love of Jesus.
(2) Another way of putting this is in terms of Jesus’ command to
love one another as he loves us. The norm for our loving and the
actual love of one another is Jesus’ love for the Father and for us. We
are expected to enter into the flow of love with which Jesus and the
Father love each other, which results in the person of the Holy Spirit.
It is the very love with which Jesus loves us so much so that he suffered and died --he gave his all-- out of love for us. This very love of
God resurrected Jesus and resurrects us and gives life to others.
(3) It’s a matter of remaining in that love. God will remain
faithful to us who believe and rely on Him no matter what we do.
It’s a matter of we remaining in a consistent way faithful to God,
who is Love, and share that love with others.
Easter, then, is a season of love, God’s love and our love. It’s a
season of a lifetime, which includes the past, the present and the
future. Peace and Good!

NAJWAZNIEJSZA ZASADA
Czlowiek jest tak kreatywna istota,
ze wymyslil i wciaz wymysla wiele
róznych zasad postepowania. Wielu z
nas zna, a moze nawet doswiadczylo
konsekwencji powiedzenia: jesli jestes
przyjacielem, zrobisz to dla mnie.
Chyba jednak kazdy, kto ma chocby
troche wrazliwe sumienie i doze
rozsadku, zdaje sobie sprawe, ze za
tymi kilkoma slowami moze kryc sie cos takiego, co sprawia,
ze nogi przestaja isc do przodu, a czlowiek zapiera sie i broni
przed taka „przyjaznia", która uciska bardziej niz ciasne buty na
nogach.
W dzisiejszym fragmencie z Ewangelii wg sw. Jana
zatrzymajmy sie przy slowach Pana Jezusa, który wpierw
mówi: „jestescie przyjaciólmi moimi, jesli czynicie to, co
wam przykazalem"; potem zas wyjasnia, jakie jest Jego
przykazanie: „to wam przykazuje, abyscie sie wzajemnie
milowali”. Jakze rózna jest ta przyjazn, o której mówi
Chrystus, od karykaturalnej przy jazni wymodelowanej za
pomoca ludzkich ukladów i interesów. Jezus nie pragnie
niczego dla siebie. Nie mówi: zrób cos dla Mnie! Uczy
szczerej i bezinteresownej milosci, która czyni otwartym na
kazdego spotkanego czlowieka. Kto trwa w Nim, zaczyna
kochac ta miloscia, która oddaje zycie i nie szuka swego.
Milosc! To piekne i niezwykle bogate slowo. Wokól
niego obraca sie nasze zycie. Z miloscia jest nam dobrze.
Stajemy sie nieszczesliwi gdy jej brak w naszym zyciu.
Jednak temu slowu potrafimy nadawac przerózna tresc i
znaczenie. A milosc jest tylko jedna, jak jeden jest Bóg; bo „
Bóg jest miloscia”. To glówny i zasadniczy regulator
ludzkiego zycia. Jak sie nim poslugiwac nauczal nas,
popierajac swoim przykladem, Jezus Chrystus. Nazwal ja
swoim przykazaniem — ”abyscie sie wzajemnie milowali,
jak Ja was umilowalem”. Wiemy, jak On nas umilowal: az
do smierci, i to do smierci na krzyzu.
Przykazanie to powinno byc nie tylko zasada postepowania,
ale sprawdzianem naszej wartosci, probierzem naszej
przynaleznosci do Niego. Jesli chcemy byc szczesliwi,
winnismy zabiegac o Chrystusowa milosc, i starac sie w niej
trwac. Na milosc nie mozna czekac, ale przede wszystkim ja
samemu dawac. Na nic sie zda marzenie o niej, tesknota,
spiewanie czy mówienie w pieknych slowach o niej, jesli nie
bedziemy jej praktykowali i nia zyli.
Pobudzajmy w sobie pragnienie milosci Bozej, prosmy o
milosc, która nie mysli o sobie, o milosc, która, potrafi
udzwignac brzemiona drugiego czlowieka i zrozumiec takie
slowa jak: ofiara, oddanie, bezinteresownosc, pomaganie,
dzielenie sie.
Uczmy sie milosci Chrystusa! Posród skomplikowanych
ukladów i ukrytych interesów, o których slyszymy kazdego
dnia, potrzeba prostoty i szczerosci serca, które bije Bozym
rytmem. Milosc, której uczy nas Jezus, potrafi przekraczac
codzienne schematy, ludzkie przyzwyczajenia i lek przed
prawda. Przyjazn, która czerpie z tej milosci, nie godzi sie na
zlo, zaklamanie czy nieuczciwosc. Prawdziwa przyjazn
przemienia czlowieka, prowadzi go do nawrócenia i naprawy
zycia oraz zasmakowania w Bozej radosci.

ST. STANS HISTORICAL FACT
The six murals behind the main altar
depict scenes of sacrifice. Five are from
the old testament. The first mural on the
rectory side of the sanctuary closest to
the pews is a representation of a lamb on
a table with loaves of bre ad in a basket,
in front of the table flanked by three men
and two women; to this mural’s right is a
depiction of Melchizedek offering sacrifice; next is God the Father watching
Cain leave after slaying his brother,
Abel. On the schoolyard side are depictions of a sacrifice of a lamb, Abraham
stopped by an angel from sacrificing
Isaac, and the Eucharist (Lamb of God)
being worshipped by angels. The murals
were done in a fresco technique which
involved applying pigments to the surface of a newly spread layer of wet plaster. When dry the plaster and paint become one.
